samba - May 2016 - samba4 on centos 7 won't promote to dc

Hello everyone


I have successfully deployed samba 4.4.2 on Centos7 as PDC. I had to use
BIND9_DLZ because samba_internal was not working. I have successfully
joined win7 machine to a domain and with RSAT I can add user, GP etc.. This
was all possible but with a more than a few tweaks but I have some
questions. But at this time only one is bugging me crazy.

1. When I configure the makefile of samba 4.4.2 with the following
"./configure" , samba won't promote to dc no matter what I enter.
I do a
testparm and server is always ROLE STANDALLONE .
But when I do "./configure --enable-selftest --enable-debug
--prefix=/opt/samba/ --sysconfdir=/etc/samba/
--includedir=/usr/include/samba4/ --bindir=/bin/ --sbindir=/sbin/
--mandir=/usr/share/man/"   it will promote it no problem. Why is that?

--prefix        : installation directory
--sysconfdir    : smb.conf should be places
--includedir    : includes the header files for C compilers
--bindir        : user executables
--sbindir       : system admin executables
--mandir        : man pages to be placed



Thanks everyone

I take it you mean 'DC' instead of 'PDC'

Why didn't the internal dns work, it should.

The './configure' options should have no affect on the
'provision'
command (I take it you mean 'provision' instead of 'promote') ,
can you
tell us what packages you installed to compile Samba, what you actually 
get in the provisioned smb.conf when it doesn't work, finally can you 
post the provision command you are using.

I know and it doesn't make sense with ./configure
Yes I mean provision :)

packages are:

    perl gcc attr libacl-devel libblkid-devel \
    gnutls-devel readline-devel python-devel gdb pkgconfig \
    krb5-workstation zlib-devel setroubleshoot-server libaio-devel \
    setroubleshoot-plugins policycoreutils-python \
    libsemanage-python perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker perl-Parse-Yapp \
    perl-Test-Base popt-devel libxml2-devel libattr-devel \
    keyutils-libs-devel cups-devel bind-utils libxslt \
    docbook-style-xsl openldap-devel autoconf python-crypto

unfortunately I do not have smb.conf of the old installation, because I
destroyed that and then did a new one

provision command

samba-tool domain provision --use-rfc2307 --interactive


New installation worked it out, but I was just curious if somebody had the
same problem with provisioning.

No need to bang your head cause of this
